Small find - Triangular Flint Arrowhead

Recovered near to Thetford Warren Lodge, Norfolk, this triangular arrowhead is made of dark flint, neatly pressure flaked. Some authorities have suggested that triangular arrowheads might be unfinished blanks for barbed and tanged arrowheads. This example certainly does have that appearance - the point may have snapped off during preparation. I would date it somewhere around 4,700 and 3,800 years before present?
